    I'm watching the weather with interest, but 575 miles , starting with 4 hours friday night and 4 hours sat early AM, is NOT looking good, followed by 575 miles on sunday.
    if it starts to look evil I'll just fedex pianoman a spare frequency counter and yall can set up his pcaom driver for me.

    Yeah, the weather isn't looking so hot. Supposed to be single digits nights over the weekend too.

    I'm still up for it if y'all are - but there isn't any driving involved for me.

    Is pianomans laser water cooled? There is water and 3ph throughout the building but heat only in some areas.

    I'm still in for whatever you guys are.

    That's too bad, sorry you guys can't make it. Maybe the weather guy will be wrong. Hope you are able to make it Steve. I have a laser newbie friend that's shown interest in coming to observe. He basically wants to learn through observation. If no one has any objections there is a possibility he will be with me.

    Mophead- If no one else can make it and you are still up for it, I really need to run my ion. It's been cold for over a month now, and I desperately need to get my PCAOM set up and my green DPSS installed so I can start making some $$. College is expensive... to run it needs the 3ph and water.

    One they dont freeze fast. Two, flush a few ounces of alcohol or car antifreeze through them and they dont freeze at all. Three, we blow them out with gentle compressed air, and I know you have compressed air in a auto shop. Usually I do air and then slurp in some antifreeze into the head and shake it. The psu needs a bit in the flow switch but otherwise drains.

    I wasn't real worried about the lasers freezing; more worried about us, but since there is 3Ø throughout - it doesn't matter. We'll have heat. Well, we can either have heat but no darkness OR cold and dark. LOL.

    WOW! This event would be huge if it was based on who's NOT coming! Oh well, that what happens when you try to plan these things at the last minute. I guess I'll be bringing the crappy weather down with me.

    Pianoman: If you need help tuning your PCAOM and have a frequency counter handy, I'd be glad to help.

    So, who is confirmed? We gotta have more than me, mophead and Pianoman.....

    Hey 300, Steve said if he is unable to make the drive due to inclimate weather, he may be able to send down a frequency counter via fedex. Also mophead has a 2Ghz scope.
